Nanotechnology Research Laboratories

The Jun Group at UCSF uses cutting-edge nanotechnology tools to dissect, interrogate, and understand spatiotemporal dynamics of molecular mechanobiology at the cell-cell surface and its consequences in cell signaling that regulate developmental, physiological, and pathological processes.

Studies in the Desai laboratory focus on the design, fabrication, and use of advanced micro/nano biosystems.

Mission: Using microfluidic technologies, electrokinetics, and spectroscopy to develop tools for chemical detection, cellular discovery, and electronics cooling applications.

The Cleland group pursues research in two distinct areas: 1) Quantum-limited behavior of electronic and mechanical systems, and 2) Developing tools for biophysical and biomedical applications.

The UCSB Nanofabrication Facility offers expertise in compound semiconductor-based device fabrication providing a full range of processes to the scientific and research communities.

The UC Santa Cruz Nanopore Group developed nanopore sequencing for single-molecule genetic analysis. Their research on membrane pores and enzymatic control enabled the commercialization of sequencing devices. Current projects focus on DNA polymerase mechanics, protein nanopore implementation, and biosignature detection to study the fundamental science of biopolymers and biotechnology.

This course provides an up-to-date overview of the rapidly developing area of bionanotechnology. Learn from a leading academic in the field who is based at the internationally recognised Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge. The course is grounded in biomedical applications but the techniques you will learn are applicable to a range of industries including energy, agriculture and the environment. The interdisciplinary approach will allow you to develop a network of potential future collaborators.

The Master's Programme in Micro- and Nanotechnology Enterprise is an opportunity in which world-leading scientists and successful entrepreneurs are brought together to deliver a one-year Master's degree, which combines an in-depth multidisciplinary scientific programme with a global perspective on the commercial opportunities and business practice necessary for the successful exploitation in the rapidly developing fields of nanotechnology and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

The NanoEngineering Research Group at the Cambridge Graphene Centre works across engineering, physics, chemistry, materials science and nanotechnology, exploiting 0D, 1D and 2D nanomaterials for optoelectronics, photonics, sensors and energy devices.

NanoPhotonics explores how new materials can be created, in which the interaction between light and matter is fundamentally altered to produce fascinating and useful new effects.

The PhD programme is based on courses, practicals and projects in Year 1 before selection of an interdisciplinary PhD topic for research in Years 2-4 in a Nano group within Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Materials or another department. A significant element will be a Management of Technology Innovation (MoTI) component provided through the Judge Business School.

The group comprises research areas in electronic devices and materials, novel materials and metrology, nanomaterials and spectroscopy, and scientific imaging, with work including carbon nanotubes, semiconducting nanowires, graphene and other nanoscale materials.

The ANAM initiative seeks to convert the promise offered by CNTs into commercial reality. This project directly addresses the industrial utilization of CNTs and seeks to close the gap between academic achievement and commercial return.

Various research projects on nanoscience and nanotechnology.

The group has a wide interest in many aspects of electron microscopy, but particularly in high-resolution imaging, electron holography, electron tomography, energy loss imaging and spectroscopy.

Biomaterials and nanomedicine are the research area in Mehdi Razavi's lab and efforts lie at the interface of musculoskeletal tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Work is in progress in the following areas: magnesium composite implants, and ultrasound-responsive gene delivery systems.

The Master of Science in Nanotechnology program provides students with scientific knowledge and research training in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The program prepares students for seeking employment in industry and academia involved in nanotechnology research, product development and commercialization, or to pursue advanced Ph.D. degrees in related areas.

The NSTC applies multidisciplinary expertise in nanoscale science and technology to problems of regional, state, and national significance.

The Professional Science Master's in Nanotechnology program at the University of Central Florida provides students with scientific education in nanotechnology and professional training in business and technology venture. This program incorporates both the higher level scientific content and business and entrepreneurial components that are necessary to drive innovative ideas in nanotechnology product development. The curriculum culminates with an internship that will provide work experience for each student.
